Where to go now?

Oh dear lord, she had begun to speak again. Yea, initially, the girl had seemed somewhat entertaining, but the feeling was a fleeting one. Why is the weakling still talking, she thought to herself. There was no reason or need for the ant to talk. She lacked in beauty, she lacked in power. There was nothing she could boast about in front of Aiko. Nevertheless, she was still talking and becoming more and more annoying by the second. It was so bad she would almost puke. Once again, Aiko had not paid attention to anything the woman had said save for the first and last words each time she spoke. Someone like her just wouldn't have anything interesting, wise, or important to say. Thus, listening to her would be just a waste of time. And though Aiko loved to waste her time, she could think of numerous and better ways to do so.

"Let me tell you one thing, insolent weakling," she said speaking with a very straightforward and monotonous tone, not letting any unnecessary emotions delve into it. "Consider this your warning. Change your attitude, for your own good. Else, keep on this annoying behavior, and I shall silence your existence." She was very serious. She had no previous quarrel with this lady. The difference in their power and the simple and nearly-affable way in which Aiko had arrived should have been grounds for a fair and nice conversation. However, the weakling had outright insulted and kept on annoying the being who was many times stronger than her, nearly beyond the silly girl's own comprehension. She had been warned. And that was indeed her last warning. If the behavior continued, Aiko "would" kill her.

All of a sudden, perhaps even while she had begun to speak, the temperature had risen tremendously. The area, was now easily much hotter than any desert in the world of the living on its worse days. It was more than that, it was easily many times that temperature. Though Aiko didn't seem to suffer any symptoms at all, that was because of her own unique body. The temperatures, given her own extreme level of power, were enough to leave Captain-level opponents and higher sweating profusely at an intensively-fast rate. As for someone as weak compared to her as Natalia, the effects would be much more worse. Sweating profusely was a give, as Natalia would be no doubt drenched on her own sweat, but that was the least of her worries. Given her abilities and the difference in their power, by now, Natalia would have been completely or nearly-completely dehydrated. Her lips would have been chapped so bad to the point that even the slightest rushed movement would cause the blisters forming on her lips to pop and the latter to ooze puss and bleed. By now, she would be experiencing very severe effects of heat exhaustion Regardless of the power she would perhaps potentially exude in the battle, the difference in their latent power would not falter and thus neither would the effects of Aiko's own abilities. Regardless of the weakling's speed, heat exhaustion would trouble and cloud her mind and impair her movements to the point where even the fastest of movements would be tremendously slowed, and that was not even taking into account the immense pressure placed on her that barely allowed her to stand. And Aiko was not even displaying her full powered spiritual energy yet.
